Neutronic analysis of Thorium Nitride (Th, U233)N fuel of 500MWth Gas Cooled Fast Reactor (GFR) has been done. In this study the neutronic analysis use SRAC2006 code both PIJ and CITATION calculation. The data libraries use JENDL 4.0. First calculation is survey parameter with U-233 enrichment variation. From the homogeneous core configuration calculation, when the enrichment of U-233 is 8.2%, the maximum k-eff value is 1,00819 with excess reactivity value 0,812%. The average power density is 63 Watt/cc and the maximum power density 100 Watt/cc. The heterogeneous core configuration calculation has been done to flattening the power of the reactor. The variation fuel of F1:F2:F3 = 7.8%:8%:8.8%. The fraction of fuel : cladding: coolant = 60%:10%:30%. The max k-eff value of heterogeneous core configuration is 1,01229 with excess reactivity value 1.21%. The average power density is 65 Watt/cc and the maximum power density 92 Watt/cc. The power density distribution of heterogeneous core configuration is flatter than homogeneous core configuration.

The process of fluid descend vertically on static fluid has been studied through experiment and simulation by using Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS) method. MPS has been developed by Koshizuka and Oka (1996). MPS method is a particle method based on the Lagrangian calculation for incompressible medium and does not rely on grid system. This study has been done by doing simulation first then validated by experiment. Water and cooking oil were used in the experiment. This study was carried out to analyze distance and density influence in the height of static fluid bursting process. The experiments were conducted in an acrylic box with the dimension 150 mm x 40 mm x 30 mm and a bottle with height of 100 mm and the nozzle of bottle was 26 mm. The distance between nozzle and surface of fluid inside box is varied for 100 mm and 200 mm. The results show that in the same height, water will be more difficult to be moved than cooking oil because water has bigger density. The distance between nozzle and fluid surface inside the box will affect at the pressure which is received by the fluid. Higher distance will create higher pressure so that fluid inside the box will be moved easier and more fluid will split out to the box. It also gives some influence in the final condition of remaining fluid in the acrylic box.
